Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is one of the earliest horror comedies for an entire generation of moviegoers. Since its release in 1984, it has become an essential part of the Halloween movies list. Its success was followed by several sequels and spin-offs, but none of them managed to capture the essence of the first one. The film can be rented on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.


Casper

Casper focuses on the namesake friendly ghost. Most films to this point showed ghosts as hostile and dangerous entities. This one changed that cliche, and the result is a film that can be enjoyed even by toddlers. It is also the first feature film to have a fully CGI character as one of the protagonists. The film can be enjoyed on Amazon Prime Video. Its second spin-off, Casper Meets Wendy, is also a watchable title for Halloween.


Gremlins

Gremlins draws inspiration from the folklore of the namesake mischievous character. This Joe Dante film is about a guy taking care of his Gizmo, who starts wreaking havoc on everyone. While it's a horror film, there is also an underlying message about how we should treat animals and pets. Fans can watch it by buying or renting it from Prime Video and Apple TV.


Beetlejuice

This Tim Burton gothic comedy horror film is mostly remembered for Michael Keaton's eccentric and offbeat portrayal of the protagonist. Burton came out with his sequel more than three decades later. Give this one a try if you are looking to have fun with your children this Halloween. The film is streaming on Max.


Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

We all know that the Harry Potter films became darker and grimmer than their last entries as the franchise grew. But Philosopher's Stone was the first on the list. A Halloween movie list will never be complete without the mention of wizards and witches that this film provides. It has its scary moments, but not that much for a young audience to shy away. The film can be enjoyed on HBO Max.

So here is a list of Halloween movies for you, and now it's up to the viewers to decide what they want to binge on this Halloween.
